As with any anchoring system, bottom conditions have to be considered. I nearly bought a Box Anchor a couple of years ago (before they started making them in stainless) but didn't because several people said they didn't hold for them. |

Most of the lakes we boat on have sand, mud with brush, and of course lake powell, just solid sand stone for bottoms. I have had very good luck with the very cheap traditional/fluke anchors. Our current boat has a claw-type with bow roller, works very well and we carry a smaller fluke style to through off the back to hold boat from drifting around when in a cove. If camped on a beach, we usually anchor with swim deck aimed to shore with two shore lines going to beach making sure that outdrive is in 3 ft depth of water. I have also been nosing current boat into beach, but only if its soft sand with no rocks! We carry a variety of stakes for anchoring boat to beach. Cordless drill with mortar/cement bit and 8" nails work great in sand stone, 3' rebar w/ground point on one end stored in PVC pipe work for sand. Oh ya, you can't have too much rope, I buy 1/4" line and keep several in 25', 50' and 100' lengths for any situation. |
